@the.elephant.sanc4: A young elephant with a dislocated leg joint keeps up with mom. The previous day this young one was sedated, leg reset, and given pain meds to support its recovery. It’s not uncommon for humans to intervene in cases like this and there’s a 70-80% chance this ele makes a full recovery. The world renowned Save The Elephants organization works in the Buffalo Springs allowing these real-life operations to take place. Their goals are in-field interventions, immediate family reunifications, and then monitoring progress from a distance. So why are odds good that it’ll survive? Well- immature and flexible bones, herd mentality support, and medically monitored. In the wild you never know what you’re going to see.
